One of the problems with photographing a real popular State Park on a Sunday afternoon in summer is that the place is loaded with other people. I was able to get a reasonable view of the waterfall by itself (see August 4 post), but this overall view is of canyon and crowd. Oh well, I was there for only a few hours and got what I could. I’ll just have to convince myself that the people add something to the scene (or else I’ll have to use Photoshop to get rid of them ).

Well, the Will County Fair is over today, so this is my last image of the Midway (unless I use one other one that I kind of like). This is one of those rides that go back and forth and round and round until you get sick. For some reason, it doesn’t appeal to me now the way it did in my youth.

Another image from the Will County Fair. This is one of many places on the Midway that offer all sorts of “health” food. Yesterday’s post shows the location for funnel cakes and elephant ears (note that no elephants were harmed in making the elephant ears or the image).

It’s Will County Fair time again in Peotone. I’ve never liked the images I took at the fair, but this year I tried the HDR technique and I think it gives more of the feeling of the lights and action of the Midway.

Well, yesterday I posted an image of the Flossmoor Train Station restaurant. If your head is still on the bar and you look in the other direction, this is what you see. The doors open to the brewing area and you can see one of the large copper kettles used in the process.
